After everyone is here, today's dinner will officially start.

Under Ning Xiaole's deliberate suggestion, Xu Xingran sat next to Xu Zifei, and would always bring him along when chatting, intentionally or unintentionally, after a few rounds, Xu Zifei also let go a little more than before.

At least dare to eat, it is considered progress.

Ning Xiaole only paid attention to Xu Zifei's situation for a while, and then spent most of the time talking with Zuo Wenqi, participating in their topics from time to time.

Xu Zifei, who had just arrived, was only familiar with Ning Xiaole, and was basically paying attention to Ning Xiaole's state. Halfway through, he couldn't help but ask, "Well, Brother Lele, do you have such a good relationship with Mr. Zuo?"

Hearing his low-pitched question, Ning Xiaole tilted her head and replied with a smile: "Yes, I like Brother Zuo the most, and Brother Zuo is also very nice~"

Xu Zifei looked a little more envious: "That's great, I also want to have such a good relationship with Brother Lele."

Zuo Wenqi, who was about to reach for the cup, paused for a moment and glanced at Xu Zifei.

The nervous Xu Zifei didn't notice that his eyes were wrong at all—or, in other words, he didn't notice that Zuo Wenqi was looking at him at all, and still focused on Ning Xiaole.

Ning Xiaole smiled at him, and replied simply: "That may not be possible~ Brother Zuo is always the number one in my heart, and no one else can surpass him."

Speaking of this, he pretended to think for a while: "But if Zifei wants to, maybe I can consider ranking you second?"

Xu Xingran, who heard this sentence, was about to express his dissatisfaction: "That won't work, how can the second position not let go of your dear brother Ranran!"

Ling Yichu interjected: "Brother Ling should be let go~"

"It should be Sister Yunyun!" Tang Luoyun was not to be outdone.

With the troublesome intervention of the three of them, the original simple question quickly turned into a few people asking Ning Xiaole who can be the second in his heart.

The popular Ning Xiaole was slightly distressed, and after thinking for two seconds, he gave an answer: "How about this, Brother Zuo is the first, the little music scores are second, and everyone is tied for third~"

"Music score" is a fan name chosen by Ning Xiaole's fans themselves. The second place and others have no objection, but they have too much to say about the tie for third place, pretending to accuse him of his Neptune attitude.

Tang Luoyun even put on a serious look: "Xiao Lele, your behavior of leveling a bowl of water is not advisable, it will easily become the king of the sea. The correct way should be to put your sister Yunyun Ranked third, and the others tied for fourth."

Mu Qianqian, who was still agreeing with her when she said the first half of the sentence, suddenly felt something was wrong: "? Sister Yunyun, isn't it a bit too much to carry private goods?"

Tang Luoyun was confident and confident: "Can the matter of female stars be called carrying private goods? I call it correct guidance."

The two people in the teacher-student group started to fight again, and Ni Mandong, who was the most mature in the audience, turned directly to Zuo Wenqi: "Wen Qi, Xiao Lele's behavior is not a good sign, are you indulging?"

Zuo Wenqi calmly took a sip of his drink from his cup and replied, "It's not me who was caught in the sea, why should I care?"

Justified and convincing.

Ning Xiaole, who was backed by someone, looked happier, and happily made a decision: "Since Brother Zuo has no objection, then let's make this decision."

After this little episode, the atmosphere at the table became visibly more active, and overall it was very relaxed, much like a simple gathering of friends.

Later, Ning Xiaole found a topic and was chatting with Xu Xingran. On the way, Xu Xingran received a few messages, and picked up the glass while drinking water while flipping through them.

After seeing half of it, he suddenly let out a soft "Hey" and said in a mumbled voice, "Who is this? It can't be the one named Liu, right?"

Ning Xiaole heard his mumbling, and asked curiously: "What's wrong with Brother Ranran? Who sent the message?"

When asked by Ning Xiaole, the others couldn't help turning their attention to Xu Xingran.

Xu Xingran let out an "Oh" and said casually: "I don't know either, it's just that someone I don't know suddenly added me and sent me a message on WeChat, saying that he knew that I was robbed of the role by Xiao Lele before, and he usually doesn't say Definitely not convinced."

Speaking of this, he sneered: "You speak as if you understand me very well. It's really funny. With my rubbish level, I don't even deserve to lift Xiao Lele's shoes!"

He spoke with confidence, as if he was not scolding himself but someone else.

Ning Xiaole smiled helplessly: "Brother Ranran, how many times have I said that you are great, don't always say that, I still have a lot to learn from Brother Ranran."

After finishing speaking, he turned the topic back to normal: "Brother Ranran is suspecting that Liu Han sent this?"

Before Xu Xingran answered, Ling Yichu on the side snorted coldly and said, "This kind of method of sowing dissension is mostly him. Xiao Ranran, you can play along with him first and see what tricks he wants to play. "

"Decree!" Xu Xingran originally felt unlucky, but after hearing what Ling Yichu said, he became interested, and began to reply over there.

In order not to reveal his part in acting, he deliberately came to play hard to get, pretending to show his true emotions until later.

The others became interested because of this episode, and stopped chatting, waiting curiously for the result while eating.

Ning Xiaole wasn't very interested, but paid attention to Xu Zifei's situation. Seeing that he was struggling, he seemed to have something to say, but the camera couldn't be opened.

Holding the glass, he sipped the mango juice through the straw, staring straight at Xu Zifei.

Zuo Wenqi, who was staring at him beside him, was a little unhappy.

Zuo Wenqi took a sip of sour plum juice, seemed to pay attention to Ning Xiaole's state inadvertently, and asked curiously, "Xiaole, what are you looking at?"

Ning Xiaole didn't move her eyes, and replied frankly: "I'm watching Zifei."

Zuo Wenqi originally wanted him to divert his attention a little, but after hearing his answer, he suddenly felt that the sour plum juice in his hand was only sour, and turned his head depressedly to put the cup on the table.

But the rest of the people were distracted by this question and answer, especially Xu Zifei who had a confused expression before.

"look at me……?"

Xu Zifei raised his head slightly, looking a little at a loss, not as happy as he chatted with Ning Xiaole on WeChat before.

Ning Xiaole rested her chin on one hand, and smiled with a cute little canine tooth: "I see that Zifei seems to have something to say, so I want to see how long you have to hesitate before saying it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the others looked at Xu Zifei again.

"Ah... I... that's..." Xu Zifei stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Ling Yichu let out a soft "tsk" and patted him on the head: "There are no outsiders here, everyone is friends, why are you nervous? I'm afraid that if you say the wrong thing in front of the camera, it's a big deal. I'll just ask the director to cut this part out." .”

When he patted Xu Zifei's head, he didn't deliberately control his strength. Xu Zifei covered the back of his head, and after listening to what he said just now, he finally made up his mind and said, "Okay, okay, actually, I might know who came to see Teacher Xu. who……"

"Stop, don't call me Teacher Xu, it's not cute at all." Xu Xingran interjected in the middle of his pause, "Just call me the same as Xiao Lele."

"Ah, good, good."

The innocent and upright Xu Zifei nodded blankly, and said again after changing his words: "I may know who came to find Brother Ranran. Liu Han said it when he asked me to discredit Brother Lele before. Brother Lele is very scheming. It seems He looks like he has a lot of friends, maybe many of them were deceived by him in the dark."

"Among them, he felt that Brother Ranran was definitely not willing to be friends with Brother Lele, and he should just bear the humiliation for Brother Lele's popularity."

Xu Xingran, who endured the humiliation, looked confused: "...Huh???"

Ning Xiaole, who was very scheming, praised with eyes full of praise: "Wow, what a rich imagination."

The rest of the people are also completely watching the excitement.

Tang Luoyun couldn't help laughing out loud: "This brain supplement ability is too powerful. There are so many of us who may have played tricks, but Xiao Lele and Xiao Ranran are the most unlikely."

Ling Yichu next to him added: "That's right, they are people who can go the wrong way even with a location map, how can they play tricks with such a confused look, and they probably have to help count money after being sold. "

Ning Xiaole and Xu Xingran felt that their hearts had been pierced by an arrow.

Xu Zifei thought about it seriously, and finally nodded, "I also don't think Brother Lele and Brother Ranran seem to be able to deceive people."

Ning Xiaole and Xu Xingran felt that their hearts had been stabbed again.

Xu Xingran couldn't help defending in a low voice: "We just don't have a good sense of direction, so we're not so stupid!"

"Almost." Ni Mandong patted his head casually, obviously agreeing with what Tang Luoyun and Ling Yichu said.

Xu Xingran gave up struggling and poked sullenly at the empty bowl with his chopsticks.

Ning Xiaole also turned her head to look at Zuo Wenqi, blinking her eyes in a pitiful manner.

Zuo Wenqi took a look, and finally chose to rub his head: "It's okay, I don't despise you."

The implication is also recognition.

Ning Xiaole accompanied Xu Xingran to poke the empty bowl with chopsticks.

Xu Zifei saw that the mood of the two of them suddenly became depressed, thought it was his fault, and quickly apologized: "Ah, I'm sorry... I, did I say something wrong?"

"Oh, why are you so honest, kid? No wonder you were used as a gunman." Ling Yichu patted his head again, "It's okay, it's just a fight between ordinary friends, no need to apologize."

Xu Zifei, who didn't have much experience with friends, responded obediently: "Oh..."

After answering, he remembered what he had just said, and continued: "Oh, by the way, besides this, Liu Han also told me that he had heard something about Brother Lele's parents by accident. I went to investigate and found out that Brother Lele's father... the mother is a fine..."

"All right."

Before he had time to finish the rest of the sentence, Zuo Wenqi suddenly stood up and interrupted him: "Everyone should have finished eating, let's end today's dinner here."

The rest of the people, including Ning Xiaole, were confused. When Ning Xiaole was about to ask out of curiosity, Tang Luoyun on the other side suddenly realized and got up quickly.

"Yes, yes, the filming starts tomorrow, everyone should go back early and have a good rest."

While saying this, she pulled Mu Qianqian closer: "Qianqian, let's go back too. Then we'll go first."

"Ah good."

Mu Qianqian, who didn't understand the situation, responded casually, and left together.

Zuo Wenqi called Ning Xiaole to go back together, and before leaving, he said to Xu Xingran, "Send me a screenshot of the next message."

"Oh, yes." Xu Xingran replied, with a slightly perplexed and bewildered expression.

The rest of the people watched them leave until their backs disappeared from sight.

Xu Xingran was still at a loss. He glanced at his mentor Ni Mandong, and seeing Ni Mandong's expression was calm, he also said, "In that case, we should leave first."

Not getting an answer from his tutor, Xu Xingran looked at Ling Yichu again, and saw that Ling Yichu was also in a very natural state, as if he didn't feel anything wrong.

Finally, he looked at Xu Zifei, who hadn't finished speaking just now, and saw that he was holding the cloth on his leg with his lips pursed, as if he was struggling with something again, and after a while, he stood up abruptly and walked towards the elevator.

So Xu Xingran was left alone in a daze.

On the other side, after being taken away by Zuo Wenqi, Ning Xiaole realized after a while that what Xu Zifei wanted to talk about just now should be about his mother's illness.

He looked at the figure of Zuo Wenqi beside him, his eyes slightly bent, he stretched out his hand to hold Zuo Wenqi's hand, and shook it slightly: "Thank you Brother Zuo~"

Zuo Wenqi felt the warm touch of the palm of his hand, didn't speak, just gently held it back, and returned to the room with him.

They lived in a large suite, and their things were packed after arriving at the hotel. After returning, Zuo Wenqi asked Ning Xiaole to go back to the room to rest.

Ning Xiaole responded obediently, and went back to her room to sit on the big soft bed and play with her phone.

Zuo Wenqi watched his figure disappear behind the door, and was about to go back to his room to rest for a while.

Just at this moment, there was a sound of a doorbell at the door.

He turned a corner, went to the door to open it, and saw the person who came was Xu Zifei with a serious face: "That, Mr. Zuo, hello, I want to come to see Brother Lele."

Seeing his expression, Zuo Wenqi guessed that he should have understood something, and said after pursing his lips, "What do you want from him?"

Xu Zifei didn't notice that Zuo Wenqi's mood was wrong, and said stubbornly, "I want to talk to Brother Lele after I see him."

"Xiao Le is resting, so it's the same if you tell me anything." Zuo Wenqi stood at the door, not intending to let him in at all.

Xu Zifei frowned, as if he didn't like his behavior very much: "Although Teacher Zuo and Brother Lele have a very good relationship, Teacher Zuo doesn't seem to have the right to replace Brother Lele like this, right? You are just friends."

This sentence directly touched Zuo Wenqi's pain point. He understood why Xu Zifei didn't have many friends before.

Still standing at the door, it seemed that he had no intention of letting Xu Zifei in for the time being.

Xu Zifei is also a stubborn person, so he confronted him at the door.

Until a curious voice came from behind Zuo Wenqi.

"Brother Zuo, who is here? Why don't you come in and talk?"

Ning Xiaole originally wanted to get out to get a glass of water, but accidentally saw Zuo Wenqi standing at the door, and there was a vague figure in front of him.

After he spoke, Zuo Wenqi at the door seemed to finally come to his senses, and turned sideways to let Xu Zifei enter the living room.

"Brother Lele!" Xu Zifei called out quickly after seeing Ning Xiaole, "I want to ask you something."

Hearing that he was looking for something, Ning Xiaole directly welcomed her, and said with a smile: "Then you come in first, there is no camera in the living room yet, we can sit in the living room and talk."

"Okay!" Xu Zifei responded and walked into the living room, looking much more relaxed than before in front of so many people.

Zuo Wenqi closed the door after he entered the room, poured a glass of warm water for Ning Xiaole and put it in front of him, turned back to the room without saying a word.

Looking at his back, Ning Xiaole vaguely felt something, but because Xu Zifei still had something to do with him, she didn't follow him for the time being, and instead asked Xu Zifei what he wanted.

Xu Zifei was straightforward, and asked straight to the point: "Xiaole, what I didn't finish just now is actually Liu Han saying that your mother is mentally ill, and that you are too. Is this true?"

The smile on the corners of Ning Xiaole's lips faded slightly, but soon returned to the original appearance: "Yes and no, what's the difference~"

"Yes." Xu Zifei didn't hear what he meant, and replied solemnly, "If it's fake, he must be trying to use it to discredit you."

Ning Xiaole didn't seem to care very much, and her tone revealed a bit of indifference: "That's right. So what if it's true?"

"If, if it's true..." Xu Zifei suddenly became embarrassed, obviously not thinking about this possibility.

Ning Xiaole still maintained an attitude of not caring much, and asked with a smile: "If I really suffer from mental illness, will you not want to be friends with me because of it?"

"Of course not!" Xu Zifei responded very simply, "Brother Lele helped me, he is a good person, of course I will not alienate Brother Lele just because of this kind of thing."

"Then why should you care about this?"

Ning Xiaole was still holding a small pillow in her arms, as if she was just asking such a question in an ordinary way.

Xu Zifei thought for a while, and answered honestly: "Because I think this is fake, and I'm afraid Liu Han will use this to discredit you."

Ning Xiaole picked up the water glass and took a sip, smiling sincerely: "Thank you Zifei for your concern, but actually you don't have to worry, Brother Ranran is already talking about it, after Brother Ranran sends the screenshot to Brother Zuo, Brother Zuo will help me solve it."

He diverted the topic directly to another direction, and Xu Zifei followed his words to divert his attention: "Brother Lele seems to trust Teacher Zuo a lot?"

"Of course." Ning Xiaole hugged the pillow in her arms and looked towards Zuo Wenqi's room, "Brother Zuo is the most important person to me, I like Brother Zuo very much."

Listening to his tone, Xu Zifei suddenly said for some reason: "I, I also like Brother Lele very much! Brother Lele is also a very important person to me."

Ning Xiaole seemed to be amused by his words, chuckled lightly, and said softly, "Thank you very much for Zifei's liking, but we've only known each other for a few days."

Perhaps because he felt that Ning Xiaole didn't take his words seriously, Xu Zifei added seriously: "I'm not joking. I have never had many friends, and Brother Lele is the first friend who can always pay attention to my emotions."

"Although I'm stupid and slow, brother Lele has been taking care of me since we met in the afternoon."

On the contrary, Ning Xiaole was embarrassed by what he said: "This is just my instinctive reaction. Sometimes I habitually pay attention to the state of the people around me."

"Brother Lele is also a super nice person in my heart! It's just... like the warm sun, making people want to get close."

"It's not that exaggerated."

……

The hazy voice passed through the door and clearly entered Zuo Wenqi's ears.

Instinctive reaction... huh?

Listening to the ongoing jokes outside the door, he took his hand back from the doorknob.

Zuo Wenqi thought of the self-reports written by Ning Xiaole's junior high school classmates when they clarified for him. Many of them said that Ning Xiaole gave them spiritual help and encouragement.

In fact, giving motivation to others is indeed what Ning Xiaole is best at.

As Xu Zifei said, he is like a warm little sun, giving warmth to others and feeling happiness from it.

But this kind of warmth belongs to everyone.

Zuo Wenqi turned around and walked back to the bedroom, looking at the sunny doll that he placed on the bedside table.

He was able to hold a little more weight in Ning Xiaole's heart, and it was only because Ning Xiaole liked the works and roles he had played in.

Even with it, he is the one who likes him.

He went to the bed and sat down, reached out to pick up the sunny day doll, looked at the big smiling face printed on it, and in a trance, Ning Xiaole's appearance every time he smiled brightly at him appeared in his mind.

He also showed this kind of smile to everyone.

Sometimes Zuo Wenqi would have some thoughts that he shouldn't have, wanting to keep such a smile and such warmth for himself.

But he knows he can't.

Socializing is Ning Xiaole's right, and he has no right to hinder it.

The only thing he can do is to stand by his side, look at his smile, and draw a share of the warmth from him.

This is enough.

enough.

Zuo Wenqi looked at the sunny baby under the light, and didn't know how long he had been in a trance. When he heard the voice outside the door gradually weakening in the haze, he let out a sigh of relief, stood up and prepared to go out.

But before he reached the door, he heard a knock on the door.

He walked over to open the door, and saw Ning Xiaole standing in front of the door, smiling innocently and cutely: "Brother Zuo~"

Ning Xiaole yelled sweetly, her tone seemed to be coquettish, very cute.

Zuo Wenqi thought there was something wrong with him: "Is there something you want from me?"

"Yes!" Ning Xiaole nodded, her dark pupils seemed to be shining brightly.

In the next second, Zuo Wenqi was embraced by the person in front of him.

He froze in place, not even knowing how to react for a moment, and after a while he found his voice: "Why are you hugging me all of a sudden?"

"Because Brother Zuo seemed a little unhappy just now." Ning Xiaole still hugged him, and the breath she spoke gently in her ears, "Although I don't feel unhappy, every time Brother Zuo hugs me, my The mood will be better, so I want Brother Zuo to be happier~"

Feeling the warm temperature in his arms, the softest part of Zuo Wenqi's heart could not help but collapse a small piece, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help asking: "When you make others happy, do you also do this?"

Hearing his sullen tone, Ning Xiaole suddenly recalled it, got up and looked at him: "Is Brother Zuo jealous?"

Zuo Wenqi pursed his lower lip and looked away, but still replied with a soft nasal voice: "En."

Ning Xiaole smiled sweeter: "I don't take the initiative to make others happy subjectively. Brother Zuo is the first and only one."

"From now on, I will only hug Brother Zuo, and I will only hug Brother Zuo, okay?"
